In Management Science class, the tutor told us that engineers (he was speaking then of technical engineers, but it probably also works in other fields) would make one promotion too many in their life. In fact, they were trained at technical skills, but were expected to end up in management, of which they had only basic knowledge, or none at all.
And he told that often, the best engineer would be promoted to be department manager. This off course was not a good thing, as the best engineers were usually not the best managers.
I sincerely hope to make him proud by proving him wrong.
On the contrary. Once the British leave the neo-conservative corporatocracy called the EU, they at least have the opportunity to become human again. The British can choose to be governed by a democratic power instead of lobbyists. Whether they do so is off course the question. Much of the neo-conservative belief system came from people like Margaret Thatcher after all.
Retaining and recruiting talented technical personnel has become a top national security priority in recent years as Russia, China, Iran and other nation states and criminal groups have sharpened their cyber offensive abilities while the NSA wasted their resources on attacking their own civilians.
Copyright violation is not theft. And if it were, it would be pretty hard to steal something that is not (lovemaking or otherwise) available anyway. And if the girlfriend was born on this side of the pond, she had the right to see anything she wanted to see. After WW II, we were granted the right to receive all signals as a basic freedom (the Germans had made listening to free radio stations a crime). I know the industry wants to take all rights away, including the fundamental ones, but for now the radio freedom is still a fundamental part of being a free citizen.
your Web app can communicate with nearby Bluetooth devices in a private and secure manner, using the Web Bluetooth API
Given the fact that even the battery API was abandoned for privacy reasons, I just don't believe it is ever possible to do this securely and privately. This is just an attack vector begging to be exploited.
There is no way to price the information rationally.
But this is the stock market. At the stock market, there can be a price for anything, even if it is impossible to define what the sold service actually is.
See? Monty Python's Killer Rabbit was no joke. And it turns out you did not need the Holy Hand Grenade either. Just putting a blanket over it would have done the trick also.
Or sooner. If it were really "helicopter style", it would feature autorotation in case of an engine failure. If anything goes wrong with the depicted aircraft, it becomes a brick at too high altitude.
What if America can't stop the asteroid from hitting the earth, but can stop it from hitting the United States (or close strategic ally)? Other countries may want to invest in their versions of this.
Extremely hard. On earth, there is an atmosphere that limits the speed of projectiles. Pieces of rock in space can be sent at very large speeds at your precious spacecraft. It takes some really heavy armour plates to shield against them. And "heavy" is the dirtiest word in space travel.
I think you misunderstand. Nowadays, laws are for people, international agreements (TTIP, CETA, etc.) are for companies. Companies do not abide any law, nor do they have to. It's all in the agreements.
The 5th of December is a dutch holiday, where Saint Nicolas gives presents to children. A bit like Father Christmas in the USA. In fact, "Santa Claus" is related to the dutch name for Saint Nicolas, "Sinterklaas".
Nuclear power stations can't get insurance, the liability is far too great
That should say enough. Risk = chance * impact * "repairability". Sure, the chance of a nuclear accident is low, but the impact is so huge that the risk is way too high.
Off course, competition concerns are very important. Privacy concerns, however, are not a concern at all, not even in Europe. No matter how many privacy laws there are.

Ah, in the UK this was called Maggy Hood, after the then prime minister Margaret Thatcher: "She steels from the poor and gives it to the rich".

Plus, it'll now go on a witch-hunt looking for the leaker, which will erode morale.
Seriously, was there any morale left to erode?
Why are people paying for windows again?
Because they do not have a choice.
Retaining and recruiting talented technical personnel has become a top national security priority in recent years as Russia, China, Iran and other nation states and criminal groups have sharpened their cyber offensive abilities while the NSA wasted their resources on attacking their own civilians.
There, fixed that for you.
Believe it or not, but even in the US there are more than two options. Leave bitching about the lack of choice to the stalinists.
Because in Kenya they apparently care for people. In tax heaven The Netherlands, there is only a universal basic income for foreign multinationals.

Or XXXX, like on the DiscWorld.

Well, as long as you can trust the 12 employees, it is an expensive but secure way to remember your password.

Do you have a hot wife, or do you look rich enough to have one?
Are you seriously asking Slashdot subscribers?

To divert it back to you guys?
I thought the new model could blow up a PC.

... that neither country would knowingly carry out hacking for commercial advantages.
So doing it for political or military advantages is fine?

So, in effect, you're f*cked twice.
